Li@m Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 I think you have: Echinodorus amazonicus Sagittaria subulata Echinodorus horizontalis (possibly back right) Red lotus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camtang Posted November 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Thats an older photo, sag has been removed. Thanks for the help, I will put a new photo up in a min to show current/final plants. ( Unless I find some more Amazon plants) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camtang Posted November 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 FTS: Left to right: Do these pics help for ID? I am unsure about the plant in the middle to the left of the red on. It is starting to not do it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Li@m Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Looks like Barclaya longifolia (the green version). -Both red swords look like Echinodorus horemani. -Echinodorus quadricostatus -Echinodorus amazonicus (micro sword) I dont know about the one at the back or the one on the far left by the red one.

camtang Posted November 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Thanks man. It was sold as some type of sword, guess that will be coming out as well. Where are those plant profiles? One of them was sold to me as marble queen, I can not remember which one. The other one I found randomly at a local shop. All she could tell me is that is was a sword. So no idea. I guess it will show its form as it gets older and more established. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 last pic: large sword is amazonicus,back sword does not look like horizontalis, front left is quadracostatus. Agree about the red one being horamani (spelling?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Cam horemani is the tank buster I have, the one you were studying when you were here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 I have heard about your tank buster but I have never seen another anywhere near that large and I had them for a couple of years. Are you dropping growth hormones in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 I have heard about your tank buster but I have never seen another anywhere near that large and I had them for a couple of years. Are you dropping growth hormones in there? lol no - it has slowed a little as no ferts added for a couple of weeks. In another 10 days I will start back with dosing every 2nd day.

camtang Posted November 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 So as I am a muppet, I have tryed to work out/modify EI doesing. Currently I am doesing daily Potassium phosphate: 1/2 tsp Magnesium sulphate: 3 tbl spoons Calcium chloride: 3 tbl spoon Iron chelate 1tsp Aquatic mix 1 heaped tsp Doing a 50% wc weekly. The plants seem to be going crazy and loving the enviroment,is there any harm in doesing these quantitys like this? Will it harm the fish in the long run or is all well and dandy? I have a bit of green spot going on the front glass, but I think that is partly due to sunlight coming in through the spare room window. (door shut problem fixed) I also have ptassium nitrate but am checking nitrate daily and it seems to be currently stable with a reading. Any thoughts on this plan please?

NoFishing Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 They look really cool in there. I think they like their new home. :cophot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camtang Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Thanks. Last night they were a bit skiterish under the halide. As soon as the light was of they were active as together, same thing this morning. So hopfully a couple of days of the halide and they will be tight all the time. Already considering adding another 60 or so after xmas. Will just have to wait until I get some Discus and see how well they fill the tank before I make that decsion.

SanityChelle Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 They look quite cool schooling like that. How big are they? I've never heard of minifish before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camtang Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 They are even better today, I am going to try take a video tonight. They are roughly the same size as a guppie. They are Lemon tetras, minifish is refering to them being small fish.( Not normally my cup of tea) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFishing Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Thanks. Last night they were a bit skiterish under the halide. As soon as the light was of they were active as together, same thing this morning. So hopfully a couple of days of the halide and they will be tight all the time. My Embers still do this several months later. But as the leaves on my lotus get larger and taller they have more space to move about in, while still basking in the shade the big leaves give them. I guess they just don't like the light too bright. They only come out from under the leaves at feeding time, or when the light is off.
